Any Bryston 4B3 amp owners out there?

I've recently acquired a completely rebuilt McCormack DNA-1 gold (with extras) which is really musical and for under $3K quite a bargain.  While I did not compare against the Bryston 4B3 directly, I can say I am much happier with this amplifier than when I owned the 4B3.    

I'm feelin' the love from you guys and it's appreciated. I'm an old man and desire something that I can enjoy with a minimum of trouble (don't we all!). I'd like to be able to listen and smile at the same time for a few years without equipment blowing up or burning out.

On a different amp thread that I started a few days ago, I brought the Pass Labs X250.8 into the discussion. I keep steering away from it because of it's size and the heat it generates. After reading: ’My Long List of Amplifiers and My Personal Review of Each!' and input so far, it's becoming clear that a used X250.8 is clearly a better choice than a new 4B3. I may just strip down to my underwear, open a window, and live with the X250.8.

I owned a CJ MF2300a that was recently recapped...while it didn't have the same punch and dynamics of the 4B3, it did have more soundstage and upper range imaging.  The 4B3 in my system was way too laid back, dark and frankly not all that impressive.  The recent DNA-1 is a fantastic amplifier and gets into the music more while still keeping the character I had with the CJ amp.  Have a new pre-amp inbound now too as the gain on my LS17 is not a good match for the DNA-1
